Hey Mike,
I installed Ntop on FreeBSD 6.1 and it is great. I highly
recommend installing it from the ports. Mine has been up for months.

Subject: [Ntop] best OS for ntop? (freebsd problems)
I am having several problems running ntop 3.2.3 (2 Nov) on generic,
unmodified FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE. Attempts to build from current cvs
fails with several gcc "linker input file unused because linking not
done" errors. Is there a best OS to build and run ntop on? Any/all
suggestions appreciated.
Problem details:
Problem #1
Ntop will run for several days, then crash (sig 11). Ntop then only runs
for a few minutes before crashing. Deleting /var/run/dnsCache.db will
allow ntop to run "normally".
Problem #2
Ntop will consume 100% CPU and not answer web requests. Restarting shows
strange traffic graphs indicating one or more traffic rrDBs became
corupt. Deleteing /var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/xl0/* returns normal
behavior.
Problem #3 (may be same as #2)
Ntop consumes 100% CPU. The following error was printed to the shell
that started ntop...
"Assertion failed: (lu->lu_myreq->lr_watcher == ((void *)0)), function
_lock_acquire, file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/sys/lock.c, line 170."
Problem #4
Ntop hostsInfo, sortDataProtos, sortDataIP attribute wrong hosts to
bandwidth usage. No errors on console or logs. CPU usage normal.
Re-starting ntop solves problem.
Regards,
Mike Lambert
